Something was wrong. Nox’s power was back but he was upset. She could smell him now, but there was pain there. Fear too. Hopelessness. Deep sadness. He had gotten his power back - but whatever was there before was back too.
Guilt welled up in Marta. She should have said something, but she hadn’t. But she couldn’t let that control her right now. She tried to keep the panic from rising - at least long enough to do something. Her wallet was in her hand and she was calling Hayden. He needed to be here now. No one knew what to do, but Hayden would.
As soon as Hayden picked up Marta spoke. ”Come to Kallisti right now. Need you here five minutes ago.”
Marta’s breathing was beginning to become ragged as the panic began to rise. But Cadence was there, reacting with a speed that told her the musician had seen signs that it was happening. Like she knew what to look for. ”Come on, let’s get you to a different room.”
Cadence pulled her to her feet and wrapped her in a hug, escorting her to a different room so she could calm down. Marta was still on the phone, ready to respond if Hayden had any questions. She hoped she could respond anyways.
